FTUC leaders out of custody

Out of detention for now: Urai and Anthony. pic www.labourstart.org.

Fiji Trade Union Congress president Daniel Urai and general secretary Felix Anthony have been released but the matter is unlikely to end there.

Urai was released yesterday on bail only and the charge of urging others to act against the regime stands. He is under curfew and is to report to Lautoka Police daily.

Anthony has also been released from custody, without being charged and assistant police commissioner Henry Brown confirming he was questioned "in regards to certain serious allegations". Brown says Anthony "may be brought in again for questioning when the need arises".

Urai and Anthony's release came with the help of regional and international unions who've taken strong interest in the plight of the FTUC leaders and the Essential National Industries (Employment) Decree.

Brown is digging himself into an ever deeper hole !Once this coup is over, these Unionists should sue the pants off of all these Regime idiots in a Civil Action and take everything they and their families own. That might deter the next lot of people contemplating a coup.

I'm interested to learn this morning that America is to build a joint Marine Base in Darwin !Maybe you guys need to start lobbying the President to step up opposition to this Regime before he arrives in Australia.

ANON@ 12.17 said: Urai n Anthony were once coup supporters...so when democracy returns, all will go to prison

MY RESPONSE:Good idea. Don't forget other former coup supporters as well... including half of the SLD party who supported the 2k coup, also, Rabuka and his 1987 stooges. And of course the other people who pulled the strings behind the scenes or had prior knowledge and did nothing, people like Inoke Kubuobola, etc.

It's looking like Viti might just have to have a big fence put around it and be renamed " VITI PRISON " !

Is there anyone left in Fiji, who hasn't had something to do with a coup or helped and or supported Rabuka, Speight or Bainimarama ?

Once Democracy is restored and people are held accountable, what can be done or must be done, to stop another coup and to restore the once proud reputation of the RFMF, Fiji Navy and Fiji Police Force ?

Are the Servicemen and Servicewomen aware that while they collect their wages every fortnight, the rest of the Community in Fiji is suffering ?

Sorry Mark Manning-had to support all 3 coups-why? you may ask.Well,first of-it's all about money? If you don't have it,you'dtake it from anyone willing to givethem to you? So i kissed a little bit of Ass here and a little bit of ass there and get paid for it,hey what the hell-i get da moneyand all is good!!!Who knows, Mr RUM,Driti or Baledrokadroka mightalso pull a coup against the PM andwill i support them, if they win? I don't know? It's possible?However, ass kissin(Nawalowalo Syndrome) is not so good for ones health.But the mulla is always good.
